A point mutation is a genetic mutation when a wrong nucleotide bonded to DNA during replication. Usually, DNA polymerase can prevent that because it's an enzyme that finds the right nucleotides to bond to new DNA strands.

Would a point mutation or a frame shift mutation more likely produce a neutral mutation?

A point shift mutation is more likely to produce a neutral reaction. This is because it involves a change in one nucleotide. A frame shift mutation is more deleterious because it involves the insertion or deletion of multiple base pairs within a gene's coding sequence.

A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
